Features to know about

Handle Everyday Hauling with Confidence: Class I Hitch Rated for 2,000 lbs GTW and 200 lbs TW

Perfect for light-duty towing, this hitch gives you just the right amount of muscle for small trailers, lightweight campers, or a cargo platform. With a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening, it’s built for accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers while keeping things stable on the road. The 2,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 200 lbs maximum tongue weight ratings make it a solid option for everyday use without overkill.

DIY-Friendly Install: Bolt-On Design with No Welding Required

Installing this hitch doesn’t require a lift or special tools—just a bit of time and basic hand tools. The bolt-on setup lines up with factory holes for an easy fit, and the complete hardware kit and instructions keep things straightforward. It’s designed so you can handle the install yourself right in your driveway.

Built to Last: Fully Welded Steel with Gloss Black Powder Coat Finish

The fully welded, square-tube steel construction gives this hitch its strength and durability. A gloss black powder coat finish layered over a protective base coat adds rust resistance and keeps it looking clean even after years of use. It’s a sturdy setup that’s ready to take on weather, road grime, and plenty of miles ahead.

Clean Look Under the Bumper: Concealed Cross Tube Design

The concealed cross tube keeps most of the hitch tucked out of sight for a cleaner look at the back of your vehicle. The receiver sits flush and low-profile, giving you a practical towing solution that doesn’t stick out or clutter your rear view.

I am very pleased with this trailer hitch, the shop that installed it said the installation instructions were spot on and it works perfectly with my bike carrier which is exactly what I was hoping for. The bike carrier which I also purchased for your company works perfectly, it can be put on or removed in a few minutes and it carries the bike quite securely. I have been using it for the past year and I couldn’t be more pleased.

Amazing product as always. Very detailed step by step installation manual, easy to follow...made me feel like a pro. Very happy with product. Now’s time to install the harness for taillights

This took way longer to install than the video looked. Cutting bolts out of the bumper frame were incredibly difficult. The hitch itself is great.

  • Recommended Solution to Carry 4 65 lb Bikes With a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300
    We only have one option for your 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 coupe, and that's the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11485. This is a class I that has a max weight capacity of 2,000 lbs, and has a max tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. So, with your 4 fat tire bikes that weight 65 lbs each, you're going to have to go a different route because there isn't going to be any class I racks that have that capacity. I'd recommend just trailering your bikes since they are going to be quite heavy, it's...

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2015 Mercedes-Benz C350 Coupe
    The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11485 referenced in your question is not a confirmed fit for your 2015 Mercedes-Benz C350 Coupe. There is not a trailer hitch currently available that is designed to fit your C350 coupe model. If you happen to be wanting a trailer hitch so you you can transport your bikes, another option is a trunk mounted rack like the excellent Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT. This carrier is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will secure up to 2 bikes at 35...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack for 2017 Mercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan With Step Through E-Bike
    Hey Ken! For a hitch you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11485. The only downside to this is the Class I rating and 1-1/4" receiver. You may be able to use a bike rack like the Inno Tire Hold # INH110 with a 60 lb rating. However, if those are full coverage fenders I don't expect this style to work. The only other option with this hitch would be to move to a 2-bike rack like the # RKY77RR. This is Class I compatible and works with fenders as well. It has the same 60 lb per...

You will need to remove the bumper to complete the install. I have linked an installation video below along with the instructions so you can understand the install process.

  • Bike Rack And Receiver Hitch Options For 2017 Mercedes Benz C 300
    There is a hitch receiver available that is confirmed to fit your 2017 Mercedes Benz C 300. The Curt # C11485 will fit, however, it has a maximum tongue weight of 200lbs, max towing capacity of 2,000lbs, and is 1-1/4". There is currently not a hitch receiver available for your vehicle that is rated for 300lbs tongue weight, or one that is 2". There is an excellent bike rack available that will fit this hitch.

  • Is There a 2" Hitch for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C300
    The only trailer hitch options for a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C300 are 1-1/4" like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11485. That said, you can still use 2" accessories with an adapter like the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" part # HTAD just be aware they do reduce hitch capacity by 50%.

  • Best Hitch for 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Convertible
    The Curt Class I Hitch # C11485 works on both the Sport and the "excluding Sport" version of the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Convertible. It's the same hitch # C11485 on two different listings. That's one of the fun side effects of our new and improved website fitguide. All hitches that fit your vehicle are going to be Class I 1-1/4 hitches. If you are going to use it for accessories like the Kuat Sherpa Bike Rack # SH22G, then note that you can only have a maximum of two bikes on your...

  • Solution for Trailer Hitch on 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupe
    The Curt # C11485 you looked at only fits sedan models. Unfortunately, there are no custom-fit hitches for the 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300 Coupe. If you want to add a 2" hitch you will need to take the # E17 to a local fabricator and have them fashion a custom hitch for your vehicle. If you're using a bike rack like the Thule Epos # TH49XE it would require 4-way wiring # 119250KIT to power the lights. Most bike racks do not have lights which means wiring would not be necessary.
